Janine – I read the whole article. I’m assuming Ms. Armbruster is no longer living – she was 84 and the article is dated 2002. Very interesting, Burke, ID. I’m not sure I’d want to live there, what with the water issues, lack of daylight and danger of avalanches.

Often mines function on ‘gravity’…the processing would have started at the top and fed down to the rail cars waiting below…more than likely these are processing plants not the actual mines themselves. I operate a coffee shop in a ghost town in BC, Britannia Beach…was one of the largest copper mines in the British Territories. http://www.bcmuseumofmining.org/history/index.html . It’s also part of ‘hollywood north’…pretty much anything on the sci-fi channel or nw film scape is filmed here….The A-Team, Twilight series, Charlie St Cloud, Insomnia, etc….

I'm walking across America.

That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so.
If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out.
If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania.
You can read all about the details of my trip
if you're so inclined.
